One person injured, another arrested in Oroville stabbing

OROVILLE — One person was stabbed in the arm, and a man was arrested in an incident reported at about 4 p.m. Wednesday in the 1900 block of Wyandotte Avenue.

A Butte County sheriff's press release said medics arrived at the scene and transported the stabbing victim to the local medical facility before deputies arrived.

When the deputies did arrive, they contacted Edward Silvera, 21, of Oroville, who they claim had gotten into a fight with the victim and then stabbed the individual. The press release doesn't identify the victim, even to list the person's sex or age.

Silvera was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and was taken to Butte County Jail, and is being held on $30,000 bail.
